Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig.
You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.
If you wish to be a writer, write.
Liars are the cause of all the sins and crimes in the world.
To live a life of virtue, match up your thoughts, words, and deeds.
Why, do you not know, then, that the origin of all human evils, and of baseness, and cowardice, is not death, but rather the fear of death?
